Priddy is a scattered village high up on Mendip at over 200m, 4 mi W of Wells, Somerset. The settlement is focused on the large central green still used for sheep fairs in an upland limestone landscape quite bleak in winter and replete with prehistoric monuments. The church occupies an eminence N of the green. There is good space all around except to the N, so that the building may be fully appreciated from most angles. The present building has fabric of 13thc, 14thc and 15thc date, and was restored 1881-8. It is made of coursed and squared rubble with freestone dressings. It has nave, chancel, N aisle, N and S transepts, S porch, N and S chancel chapels and a W tower. There is a Romanesque tub font.
